Holy shit, they're back
Hi. Remember us? Of course you do. Unless you're one of the 4250 spammers a day who are using the Demonblog comments as target practice.
Remember when I promised a "season in review" post in about September last year? Yeah well I couldn't be bothered. Let's put it all in one sentence "Yet again we didn't win anything". Is there any danger of it being different this season? Of course there isn't. We'll be on top in Round 15 and then fall apart like a Russian satellite.
What we will be having this year is guest writers aplenty. You handle the news and views and I'll handle the ball tearing but cathartic match reports. If you want to write for DB email the usual address (SUPERMERCADO at DEMONBLOG dot com) and we'll fix you up.
Roll on '07? Why not, we're only a month and a half into it.

Dispute
I know I don't post much anymore but this is ridiculous,
Mind you their idea of a "blog" is just writing one paragraph and then expecting the readers to provide all the content for them. So basically it's as loose a concept as this page and equally as shit.
One way or the other it's a trademark infringement (if I had a trademark...) Bigfooty lawyers - I urge you to strike at Telstra and bring down their empire of wanky pro-forma AFL club sites. Either that or Telstra could hire me away (*HINT*) to provide mediocre kwality kontent for them instead. Either way. As long as I get paid at the end of the day.

The New Power Generation
Ladies, and indeed Gentlemen we present to you the dawn of a new generation. Friends - we give you day zero of the reign of the Philthy Phil Phaction (PPP)
Please note: The wearing of yellow and black does not constitute an affinty for, or support of, the Richmond Football Club.
Please also note that the chicken arms pictured came with the jumper and aren't mine at all.

Delays...
We live. But due to a fiasco involving moving house and dodgy phone lines I can't transfer the match report from my computer to work to post it. And there's no chance I'm rewriting it. Give me a few days here...

Get ready..
Off-season's greetings from Demonblog. Personally I couldn't care less about Xmas and have instead dedicated the 25th of December to facing my Allen Jakovich statue and making offerings to Satan for the Melbourne Football Club to win the 2006 AFL Premiership. Let's face it, if we can't win via the black arts we've got fuck all chance of ever winning again.
Every Day Is Like Sunday is, like Take That said, back for good on January 1st. A full wrap of everything that I haven't been bothered to post since Grand Final day - including draft news, trade drama and soem rumors I made up for my own amusement. Stay tuned.
Meanwhile, anything you need to say or want to contribute can be forwarded via SUPERMERCADO at DEMONBLOG.COM

Alive and Kicking
So - you thought we were dead didn't you? LIES! You're probably reading this in February. Alas that wasn't the case as just days after the Grand Final I skipped the country to Britain to watch football (Association variety) there instead.
So I found out we'd traded for Byron Pickett via an SMS message that woke me up at 3.30am. Top choice - he might be a dirty thug but he's a thug with our jumper on so he's ace. We haven't had a real ultimate hard hitting bastard since Grinter.
In other news - Guy Rigoni retires, and Luke Williams hasn't been delisted yet for god knows what reason. Back on draft day.

Still here? You're probably the only one. Anyway, for too long the players of clubs have had all the fun drowning their sorrows at the end of a long season - but what about the long suffering fans? Where's our chance to get arrested? They call it Mad Monday, but we're now proud to announce that Every Day Is Like Sunday is presenting (in association with our major sponsors Gilette and Johnny Walker) the first annual,

Oi You
You will not see the following image if you are involved with the Melbourne Football Club in 2005.
But thanks to Every Day Is Like Sunday you, the humble football supporter, can still be a winner even when your team has fallen apart faster than Michael Jackson's face. For anyone who has forgotten it (i.e everyone) our FANTASTIC FOOTY FLASHBACKS competition is still on. We have one framed group of Melbourne trading cards (2004 "top 8 side" model featuring Chris Lamb) to give away to the person who sends in the best shot of them posing with a Melbourne player.
We currently have one entrant who has ripped out shots of her with BOTH Cockatoo-Collins brothers and Duncan O'Toole. Duncan O'Who? Exactly. Top that. Entries close the minute we are mathematically unable to make the Final 8.
Send your entries to SUPERMERCADO at DEMONBLOG.COM immediately. My dream of finding Simon Eishold and paying him $20 to deliver it to your house personally may have died in the arse but it's still a prize worth winning.
Special thanks to our major sponsors Big Footy and Footyblogs

Great Moments in the Internet
Hello to the person who googled for Ben Holland and ended up clicking this,
Suddenly I feel significant. A little bit anyway.
Why would anyone google for Ben Holland anyway? Probably wondering if he'll play FF this week when Neitz is out.

Note
Coonamble is a town of about 2,000 people and this fire has really hit
hard. It's a horrible thing to happen to a kid, to lose both parents
and a little brother in a fire. A friend of Danni (from BigFooty) has
put this site up.

Reminders
1) Seeking insights into how the other half think? Then visit It Never Rains, But It Pours (Sydney) and Voice From The Outer (Geelong). The two latest additions to the growing Footyblogs empire. We look forward to waffling the Geelong lot later in the season and taking the Brent Grgic Challenge Cup to put aside the Craig Nettlebeck one we took from the Swans earlier in the year.
2) Remember the competition? I seriously doubt it because nobody is entering. At this point I'm declaring myself the provisional leader because the following picture has been ripped from the archives for your entertainment,
That's me at the MFC Family Day, 1992 - Caulfield Racecourse, aged 10 and posing with the greatest man to ever set foot on an AFL field. Reader's choice on what's worse - his colossal mullet or my wildly oversized Indiana Pacers cap. Why, I'm not sure, given that I don't recall a time where I ever threatened to support the Pacers. Also of note is the "Property of LA Dodgers" shirt I've got on despite the fact that by this point I'd already started going for the Atlanta Braves. Isn't that just like a kid to sell out on a whim?
My one memory of the meeting was the great man saying "I've got that t-shirt too!" Oh god, I think I'm going to cry. Somebody hold me.
You'll also note, if you look closely enough, the pin hole through my eyes that came as the result of a teenage "I hate everything" fit.
P.S: Competition entries to SUPERMERCADO@DEMONBLOG.COM. We will obscure your face or draw over it if you want - all I want to see is people posing foolishly.

Listen up
Every Day Is Like Sunday returns to radio, tomorrow morning from 10-12am on 90.7 SYN FM's "Kicking Behinds" show. Tune in to hear me dissecting sports with a sharp knife. Expect 120 minutes of suicidal tendancies if we cop a hiding tonight.

Kompetition Korner
Because something involving the MFC has to be competitive in the next month...
In association with our major sponsor and benefactor Big Footy we're proud to be giving away this framed set of Melbourne trading cards from the 2004 AFL Premiership season.
That'll be worth a million when Chris Lamb comes back and wins the Brownlow.
ANYWAY - the way you can score this sexy piece of merchandise is to send in the most dubious photo of you posing with a past or present Melbourne FC player. I want to see double thumbs up with Rodney Grinter, a headlock on Rod Keogh and awkwardy posed shots with Scott Chisholm because none of the good players would come to your school clinic.
Email your entries to supermercado@demonblog.com or leave a link to the picture in comments.* The picture doesn't have to be new, pull something embarassing out of your family album if you want.
I'd kick things off by posting the embarassing shots of me posing with Allen Jakovich at the MFC Family Day at Caulfield Racecourse in 1992 but I can't for the life of me find them.
* Shonky legal disclaimer. By sending in you give permission for us to post it here even if you don't win. If you want your face obscured , Australia's Most Wanted style, make it clear. Good luck and happy celebrity stalking.

Disclaimer
Demons fans and assorted hangers on,
Never fear, Demonblog.com LIVES. The only problem is that a move of house to somewhere that apparently doesn't even have a phone line has rendered me unable to post anything. But let's be honest nothing's happening anyway. The Melbourne players wore pink at training, so there'll be 2500 threads by complete cockheads on Big Footy about how they're pansies and people in pink should be executed, but other than that until I see the team changes. My predictions? No idea. Flower and Barassi IN, Donald Cockatoo-Collins and Fred Fanning OUT.

Shameless plug for opposition site.
Just in time for the Swans v Demons match we've launched a new site.
Robbieando takes an upbeat, positive look at the Sydney Swans at Swansblog.com.
PS: Someone forgot to tell me to tell SM to tell me to approve comments manually. All past comments are now visible :)

Please bear with us.
Just trying to figure out why IE is being such a bitch about perfectly valid CSS. The site might look a bit funky for a few minutes...
OK fixed it.
Why are any of you using that piece of crap Internet Explorer? Switch to Firefox!

Day Zero
Welcome to Every Day Is Like Sunday - the first blog dedicated exclusively to the Melbourne Football Club. In the coming months we'll be attempting to cover everything of relevance to the MFC, while taking a look at the lighter side of the sport and some of the great (and .. erm.. not so great) moments in the club's history.
Sunday is not an attempt to rival the club's official site or any of the number of excellent independant MFC sites on the net (links pending). It will serve as a diary of our season; featuring my personal reminiscenes, rants and raves. Maybe it'll be a good year and you'll be reading posts full of sunshine and love, or it'll be a repeat of 2003 and this will end up as the sounding board for paranoid conspiracy theories and outright lunacy. Stay tuned - we'll be reprinting some classic anguish from the files of my personal blog in the weeks to come.
Feel free to let fly with suggestions, complaints, (god forbid) praise and any other comments you might have. As the AFL pre-season wears on we'll be fine tuning Sunday in preparation for Round One of the Home and Away competition.
Here's to a big season!
P.S - Do you think Morrissey would appreciate the irony in having one of his song titles ripped off for sports writing? I expect the lawsuits to start dropping on the desk any day now.
